RSSmeme In Everyone’s Language (for real this time)

My last post, RSSmeme In Your Language, was a bit misleading.  I had a small problem sending unicode to Google to detect languages.  Any language that could not be encoded from unicode to ASCII was not being detected.  This is a big deal because that includes languages like Chinese; China accounts for more page visits than any other country so I had to fix this.

Today I fixed that issue.  RSSmeme language filters now work for every language.  Here is the Chinese homepage:

http://www.rssmeme.com/?language=zh

Spanish:

http://www.rssmeme.com/?language=es

Persian:

http://www.rssmeme.com/?language=fa

Next on my agenda: add language filters to the RSS feeds.  This will require dumping the Django built in feed framework.  A side effect of this will (hopefully) be an easier to develop API using JSON.
